Breast Cancer Treatment Help ?!?!?
My mother had surgery after she found out she had breast cancer. Its been almost a month after her surgery. The doctor says she fine now although he said that the cancer cells will come back and she will have breast cancer again after 5 years or so. He told my mom about doing 2 types of treatments. One was Chemotherapy which is pretty strong and you loose your hair. My mom did not understand the 2nd treatment because shes not good at English. It has to do something with finishing the treatment in one year. Does anyone know what treatment it is ?

maybe radiation, they sometimes do that in conjunction with chemo.

I have to say that this doctor is an idiot. I've never heard of any doctor telling a patient something like this. Where the heck did he get his degree, at a vet school? No reputable Dr will tell a patient who has been through surgery that the cancer will come back. He should be reported. There are no guarantees when it comes to breast cancer or any cancer for that matter. She needs to seek out a better Oncologist. This is the most absurd thing I every heard. When a breast cancer patient needs more treatments it would be radiology after chemo. Chemo patient always loose their hair because it's toxic, but to say to a woman who's been through trauma that her cancer will come back is uncalled for.. Get another doctor, please. I wish you mom the best
